Help save the Olive Trees of Cyprus


I like to help this organisation and i am supporting them by putting up their request on my blog. Kindly read through and help save these precious ancient trees if you can. Make a difference.
"Help save an ancient olive tree, Self fınancıng sounds like a great ıdea and it is. But this method only works as far as we have enough customers to move the trees to. Unfortunately we have more trees than customers. Our very strength is also our weakness.
What do we do when we are offered 40 trees to take away and we only have homes available for just 8 of them? Some of these are taken to the Sanctuary at our expense and roughly 10% of the trees we save, for one reason or another, end up there.
But moving trees costs money.
If you would like to help us in our efforts, you can.
For around $200 you too can be a tree saviours.
For this amount, you can become the proud sponsor of a mature olive tree, which we will take care of at our Sanctuary. The tree will be named after you and we will send you pictures and keep you regularly informed.
We feel very silly asking for financial support, but it's the only way we can save even more trees."

If you have the spare money and care about ancient olive trees, please make a donation via Paypal, by visiting their website

Save water as it is precious in Cyprus


There is a new initiative by the North Cyprus government to save water as it seems the summer is going to be difficult with not much rainfall this winter. The new campaign is to urge people to use water economically and by doing so we save so much. The new leaflets and stickers are distributed free and give us details how to save water in many ways possible. I was startled to see how much water can be saved by implementing simple methods through this leaflet.
Please collect one and read through to follow those methods to save water as it is collective measures that will help to save water for the future. I am sure nobody wants to run out of water!

Boys becoming Men.........


Here we see boys of North Cyprus (we can call them Turkish Cypriots too) becoming real men by posing almost nude for a cause. And that cause is to protest against the embargoes imposed by FIFA on Turkish Cypriot footballers. Since North Cyprus is not legally recognised by the world (which I think is unfair), all the organisations including FIFA refuse these budding footballers to play with any other country's footballers. These footballers are protesting through this unique campaign and they also have released a calender to help their cause. So all you folks out their who think it is unfair, support this cause by visiting their site www.embargoed.org/.

Three cheers to boys becoming men.

It comes down atlast.....the last dividing capital of the world


The Ledra wall came down last week and guess what, the last dividing capital of the world dose not exist anymore..or you think so!

Both sides are yet to arrive on a solution for the public to cross this area yet. But it is a good step for the future and hope all goes well at the end of the day.

What a treat to the Cypriots and all those peace loving people around the world who care about Cyprus including EYE.
